5. Pros and cons of using images
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
You can convey information very quickly | Blind or visually impaired people might not be able to access the information |
People understand images no matter which language they speak | If you don't know what the image means then it can't convey the information effectively to you |
Can communicate ideas and concepts which might be difficult to do with text alone | Colour blindness might make some images difficult to decipher |
Images can help to support or add extra impact to textual information | Poor quality or fuzzy images might be confusing or lose their impact |
Images such as road signs are easy to see from a distance | Charts and graphs need to be correctly labeled otherwise they are meaningless |
